Giving Students the Edge with TIME Edge
Funded Sep 9, 2018
Thank you for funding my project! Although I'm at a different school within the Chicago Public Schools, these students will receive the same great benefits of this project.
I really appreciate you considering this project and I hope you can donate to my students again in the near future.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Putnam
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 4 other donors.

Unfortunately we live in the time of "fake news," or as I like to say "unreliable sources" (but that's not as catchy a phrase). Using TIME Edge and Junior Scholastic resources will help students not only be informed about current events, but distinguish between primary and secondary sources. Determining the reliability of sources is a skill that many adults have not mastered. I'm hoping that using relevant and recognized news magazines will help students to determine the source of their information. This will help students make informed decisions and hopefully formulate their own opinions. Eventually, this would mean the end of fake news!
